the floor. 1t is supposed that while
asleep she was taken with fit, fell
against the wheel OF baby carr iage
that stood near the lounge. and there
strangled to death. When Sensen bach
entered the room his youngest child
was found playing beside its mother,

of four children.

THE workingmen in the Pottstown
and Bethlehem iron furnaces expert
enced a pleasant surprise on Saturday
in the announcement that their wages
have been advanced. The iron compa-
ny in Pottstown employ 400 men,
of which the puddlers will receive an
increase from $3 so 1915 per ton, the
helpers from 81 to 20 cents heat and
other employees in proportion.
The men of the Bethlehem iron
company get an advance of 10 per
cent. on their former wages. These
changes look like forerunners of better
times and are doubtless the result of a
purified democratic administration.
The general business of the country is
wearing healthier appearance than it
has for years aud should no unforeseen
hindrances arise we may expect to see
business run on the smooth track of
industrial activity before the advent of
summer. True, some of the newspa-
pers in the state are troubled with
visions of another panic, owing to the
failure of congress to reduce the sur
plus, but it is to be hoped that these
fears are groundless. The country
had about as much panic as it can
stand.

wAsH1NGToN N LETTER.
(From our regular correspondent.)
WASHINGTON, Mar. 81, 1SS

Last Friday-the' 18th of March
was The golden anniversary of PreSi-
dent Cieveland's bilth. He carefully
avoided any celebration. or rather, he
celebrated the occasion by carefully
giving his entire attention to public
business. The President is not of an
enthusiastic or sentimental nature. lie
is conStltutionally opposed to every
thing which partakes Of the character
of -glorifcatioh, and such he con
siders mans celebration OF his own
birthday TO be.
The visit of ex-senator Thurman to
this city furnished the political gossips
with food for a.whole day. They could
not learn positively whether his con-
ference with the President had refer
eEce to the appointment of the Inter
State Commerce Commissioners, the
Pacific railroad investigation. the Eng
lish mission, or the Secretaryship of
the Treasury. "The noblest Roman of
them all" settled these canards him.
self. When asked IL the President had
rendered him any position he replied,
No; | am neither to be Secretary of
State nor Secretary of the Treasury nor
Minister to England. am not even
going to be an Interstate Commission
er." He added that his call on the
President was entirely social and that
he was not after office.
There is little occasion for the wide
spread alarm as to the financial situ-
alton during the interval before Con-
gress convenes. The condition of the
Treasury is much stronger than It was
nine months ago, the distribution of
currency much more favorable and
adequate, and the circumstances in
many respects more .reaSsuring. The
surplus is smaller, the gold fund is
stronger, and the circulation and sup
ply of convenient forms OF small cur.
rency is more abundant.
That which Is deemed chiefly unfa-
vOrable in the situation is the fact that
only thirty millions of bonds remain
subject to call, and that after three
monthly calls this means of putting
money into circulation will be cut off
1t is fact however, that recent bond
calls have been of little service, and
that the Treasury has ample authority
and has declared its willingness to go
into the market and buy bonds at cur
rent rates if the situation should be-
come such as to call for this action.
Those whose opinions on the subject
are best worth knowing think there IS
no reason to fear that the coming sum-
mer ard autumn will bring any serious
financial disturbance, or that the
strength of the Treasury and the skill
Of its managers are not fully equal to
all emergencies that may arise.
The Cabinet-makers who have dis
posed of the Treasury portfolio for Mr..
Cleveland more than a dozen times
since Secretary Manning resigned, are
really little embarrassed just now as
to what to say next. 1t was positively
asserted that Speaker Carlisle was Of
fered the place last Saturday and de-
clined. Since there has been 50 much
delay in the matter some of them take
1t for granted Mr.. Manning's successor
will not be named until the Grst of
April. the date when his resignation
takes effect.

FIRE AT CHAUTAUQUA.
Eighty Buildings Destroyed at a
Loss Of Over 100000.

JAMESTOWN, N. Y, March GA
fire ut the Chautauqua assembly

eighty buildings, including several
large boarding houses. The total loss
will probably exceed 100000. The fire
started shortly before midnight in the
Curtis cottage, on simpson avenue. 1t
was caused 10y defectiye flue. The
buildings and cottages are OF wood and
are close together. The fire spread
rapidly To the adjoining cottages, and
the lack of fire apparatus and the
scarcity Of help favored the flames.
The fire swept everything before it.,
taking both sides OF Simpson and Sum.
mertield avenues from the auditorium
to the Hotel Athen1um. 1t was with
great difficulty that the hotel was saved.
The absence of n high wind alone saved
from destruction the large and costly
structure. The heroic work of the
winter residents and farmers from the
surrounding country undoubtedly pre-
vented the destruction of the entire as
sembly, with its costly buildings, and
500 cottages from total destruction.
All the cottages and boarding houses
in the burned district were furnished
and equipped, and very little furniture
WAS saved. Many of the burned cot
tages on Simpson avenue were rebuilt
last year. This was the most fashion
able..avenue Of the grounds. The cot.
tages cost from $4,000 to S15, 900 each.
Thirty-six buildings on Simpson ave-

WHATEVER may be said against the
knights of Labor it must be confessed
that their proposed movement to sys-
tematically denonnce the practice Of
land-grabbing by corporations and COM
panies. Their mode of battle SAYS the
Patriot will be constant discussion OF
the crime until it becomes so odious to
the public that those en- gagged in II
will be forced to give it up.
There is no doubt that this land
grabbing is one of the most serious
dangers that threatens the workingmen
of this country to-day. High wages
are maintained among laborers and
artisans not because of the projections
that high tariff affords, but for the rea-
son that land is plenty and cheap, and
whenever workingmen are seriously
oppressed they have recourse to the
land under the homestead regulations,
and can earn by farming what has
been denied them as labofers or me-
chanics 5sl
But the operations of the land
grabbers are seriously menacing this
means of protection. The lands have
been absorbed by corporations, alien
and local and every year adds to the
difficulties of obtaining grants by le-
gitimate settlers. When the end is
reached tie working men will be at
the mercy Of the grasping and grinding
monopolies and be compelled to accept
such terms as these sonlless combina-
tions choose to offer The Knights
OF Labor are therefore taking the right
step in moving ainst the land pirates.

The Man Behind the Deal.
Jay Gould Said to be Most Deeply
Interested In the Transaction.

New YORK, March 19.-Although
Ives and Stayner are negotiating for
the control of the Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad and have made a first payment
of 81 900 900, the identity of the real
principals of the deal is as much asever
a matter OF conjecture. No one will
confess to having anything to do with
it.
A prominent broker, who has excep-
tiOnal opportunities for information In
regard to the deal, said to-day: 1.-The
man of all others to whom the acquisi-
tion of the Baltimore and Ohio is of the
greatest interest is Mr.. Jay Gould, and
it will be found that he is the power
behind the new contraction parties.
His interest in the Baltimore and Ohio
is 10y no means confined to the telegraph
department. In fact that is second
ary consideration. He carries in his
pocket the control of great railway
system which is of greater moment to
him than his holdings OF Western
Union, viz the Missouri Pacific, Jay
GOud's pet.' For years he has been
trying to secure for this property di-
rect connection to New York. He now
controls the Ohio and Mississippi, and
with the acquisition of the Baltimore
and Ohio and consolidation of that
property with the Richmond Termin;
Company his most ambitious objects
will have been attained.
| believe this new arrangement with
Messrs. Ives and Stayner is the result
of the conference between Gould, Sully
and Sage which was held last ThHrsqay
in the Western Union building. 70 all
appearances Mr.. Gould and Mr.. Sully
retire from the negotiations, but when
everything is settled they will be the
most prominent figures in one of the
greatest deals in railroad history"
